Bojan Aleksandrović (Romanian: Boian Alexandrovici, born 5 January 1977) is a Timok Vlach/Romanian priest who in 2004 successfully defied the Serbian authorities to build a Romanian Orthodox church in Malajnica (Mălainița), the first Romanian Orthodox Church in the Timok Valley in two centuries.[1][2] He has since established at least four other sites for future churches. Aleksandrović is pastor of the Romanian Orthodox community in Malajnica and Remesiana, Serbia, and protopresbyter of Dacia Ripensis.
